Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

In a final season Odd Couple episode, we flash back to a story of Oscar and Felix's fathers meeting in 1930 Chicago. Elisha Cook pops up as a suspiciously old-looking Elliot Ness undercover.

 

So The Immortal never had a proper ending and he never found his brother!!!

The last shot is him just wandering off to continue his quest.
Honestly, I don't think the show was very good. A LOT of standard action/chase scenes, a few 'meaningful' episodes where we're told that hippies are really good people at heart, and Native Americans deserve fair treatment, even if the main one is played by a Sicilian (Sal Mineo) (seriously). His immortal blood was mainly a McGuffin, and only played a real role in 3 or 4 episodes where he used it to heal people. Oh, and the opening title sequence is unbearable - two full minutes, half of which is Paul Frees narrating the premise, half of which is chase scenes with music mixed so sharp it literally hurt my ears. I'm glad I finally saw it, but I have no need to see it again.

 

I've always wondered if I should have added the show to my collection as I remember the Pilot from the seventies but the series well, only saw one or two and can't really recall anything outside of a cave scene!!!

It's Alive has just started on the MoviesTV network and I noticed Michael Ansara in the credits.
This is one of those movies I read about, but not seen until now, so this should be interesting.

Robert Lansing is in trouble and Nancy Kovak is his flimsy alibi in a flimsy nightgown on the Name of the Game episode "For Swingers Only."

 

Name of the Game's "So Long Baby, and Amen" is a hard-hitting 1970 exposé on teenage drug abuse, introducing Laurie Prange, who, IIRC, seemed to specialize in the teenage runaway role for a while. It featured a brief appearance by Ken Lynch lecturing on the dangers of dope...



... and Jame Gregory as senator Fu - er, Tucker, a cranky old politician holding hearings on same.

 

Rawhide does t12 Angrey Men with "The 13th Man" - Paul Fix as an ex-sheriff and current town drunk in one of those towns owned by one powerful, corrupt bastard.





Other notables on the jury included CONTROL Chief Ed Platt, and famous Italian actor Iron Eyes Cody.

 

The guy near Fix looks like a young Clint Eastwood.

 

Nah, he wouldn't do TV.

 

Paul Fix is one of those actors who was apparently born old.
Anyway, Julie Newmar on the Monkees marathon on Decades TV.

 

Yup, that's him (I wasn't even sure at first, pardon my ignorance)

Why would a young Clint Eastwood be in an episode of Rawhide?
Oh, I forgot to mention, the episode was written by Fred Freiberger!

 

Tige Andrews in The Purge, an episode of Police Woman!

Something to do with being the star of the show, I think. I could be wrong.

 

Yes, I know.

 

Jay Robinson, Nick Borgani in Chopper, an episode of Kolchak:The Night Stalker!
